Vortigern Studies Bibliography by Robert M. Vermaat

Vortigern Studies has the internet's most comprehensive treatment of Britain's history from the end of the Roman era to Arthurian times. Edited by Robert M. Vermaat, this unique website focuses primarily on the person of Vortigern and the enigmatic earthwork called Wansdyke. It features narrative histories, original source documents and important texts, extensive bibliographies, reading lists, informative articles by guest writers, maps, polls and more.

The Vortigern Studies Bibliography is currently split up into four databases:

The Vortigern Bibliography

Included in this database are the contemporary sources, but most are sources such as Gildas, Bede and 'Nennius'. Later editions of these authors, translations, editions and comments such as by the 19th-century editors J.a. Giles or Theodor Mommsen, up to modern works by Winterbottom and Dumville.

This part also includes Arthurian articles and books outside the Arthurian Collection.

The Wansdyke Bibliography

This section, which is the smallest of the four, is reserved for those books and articles that deal with Wansdyke or similar earthworks.

The Roman Bibliography

The Roman part of this database consists of the works that deal with the Roman Empire outside Britain and before the period of Vortigern, i.e. roughly before 400AD.

Also included are works about military organization, warfare, weapons and re-enactment.

The Arthurian Collection

This (Pseudo-) scientific part of the collection contains all kinds of Arthurian books, from the really good scientific research to the sheer lunacy (a.k.a. 'bestseller') that's on the market nowadays.

The only difference with the other parts of the bibliography is that the items displayed here are part of a collection, i.e. I own them.

Vortigern Studies is based on a collection of articles, anthologies, studies and primary or secondary sources. These four database contains all books, articles and other sources used for the creation of the Vortigern Studies and Wansdyke homepages. Some minor overlapping may occur.

This database is formed by books and articles, which are ranged chronologically starting with books, followed by chronologically assorted publications, whereas no seperation is made between articles from magazines or from books.

Some shameless E-commerce, though I should mention this is for service purposes only: most of these books are for sale, at the moment solely through Amazon.com. If you would like to purchase any of these items to add them to your own collection, click where mentioned.
